| Swelling?
For anyone else who ended up with severe swelling in pregnancy, how long did it take to go away? I still have tons and tons of swelling on my stomach, its like big pouches of fluid and it is so, so disgusting. My feet are still bad too. When does it normally start to go away?? | | | | Status: Offline

| Mine took about a week and I was not as swollen as you. It took my BP a good week or so to go down too and I felt like shit the entire time. | | | | Status: Offline
